Awarding of contract. The Secretary shall solicit contract proposals under subsection (a) of this section from inter- ested parties. In awarding contracts under such subsection, the Secretary shall review such pro- posals and give priority to those alternatives that are the most cost effective for the Federal Government and that allow for the use of do- nated land, federally owned property, or lease- purchase arrangements. A contract under this subsection shall not be entered into unless such contract results in a net cost savings to the Fed- eral Government over the duration of the con- tract, as compared to the Government purchase price including borrowing by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Awarding of contract. The Province assumed responsibility for the coastal Labrador marine service effective 1 April 1997 and contracted Marine Atlantic to provide this service temporarily to 31 December 1997. Tenders were not invited and this was not reported to the House of Assembly as a public tender exception, as required by the Public Tender Act. On 9 February 1998, the Province called for public tenders for the operation of the service. These tenders were originally requested to be submitted by 2 March 1998; however, as a result of complaints from potential bidders regarding the short response period, the deadline for responses was extended to 17 March 1998. The Province received three responses to the invitation to tender and the contract was offered to the lowest bidder on 24 March 1998. However, this bidder advised the Province on 31 March 1998 that they were withdrawing from the process and the tender was awarded on 2 April 1998 to the next highest bidder, 10663 Newfoundland Limited, in accordance with the Public Tender Act. During the period 1 January 1998 to 31 March 1998 the service was not operating as the two vessels providing the service were on lay up under the care of a separate contractor. The contract for this service was awarded without public tender as reported in section 3.39 of the 1999 Report of the Auditor General to the House of Assembly.
Awarding of contract. Effective 1 April 1997 the Province assumed responsibility for the ferry service between St. Barbe, Newfoundland and Labrador and Blanc Sablon, Quebec. At the time this service was being provided by a private operator under a contract with the Government of Canada. The Province assumed payments under this contract to the end of the contract period, 31 March 2000. Prior to the termination of the contract, the Province requested public tenders for the ferry service for an additional four years to 31 March 2004. Tenders were requested on 13 November 1999 with a closing date of 20 December 1999. However on 10 December 1999, which was prior to the closing of the tender, changes were made to the original tender to increase the age limit of the vessel from 25 to 30 years, increase the maximum length of the vessel providing the vessel could dock safely and to change the ice classification. We were informed by officials at the Department that these amendments were made as a result of requests from bidders. The Province received 4 responses to the request for tenders; however, the Department ruled that 3 of the bids did not meet the minimum specifications and were rejected. On 20 January 2000 the contract was awarded to Labrador Marine Incorporated. Our review of this process identified the following: • Although the Province assumed responsibility for the ferry service 1 April 1997 and was aware that the scheduled termination date for the contract in place was 31 March 2000, it did not request tenders until November 1999 for a ferry service which would normally start in May 2000. As a result, the Department established a tender closing date of 20 December 1999. These dates restricted the length of time provided to bidders for the preparation of their bids. In addition, this late tender date did not give the Department flexibility to change the closing date for the tenders or to re-tender if no qualified bids were received. • The original tender specifications limited the size of the vessel to 85 meters due to the limitations of the existing docking facilities at Blanc Sablon. However, these specifications were changed on 10 December 1999, which was prior to the tender closing of 20 December 1999, to permit vessels that exceeded the maximum 85 meters if it could be demonstrated that a longer vessel was capable of docking at the ramp in Blanc Sablon in the normal position for loading and offloading without the need to angle the vessel or compensate in other ways to en...
